Teresa Giudice Freaked Out, Physically Attacked Former Crisis Manager

Teresa Giudice isn’t well-known for restraint, but new reports seem to prove that she is over-the-top!

An eye witness claims that Teresa Giudice physically attacked her then-crisis manager Wendy Feldman just days before her prison sentencing.

According to Life & Style, four days before Giudice was sentenced to prison for 15 months, a last-minute meeting to discuss strategy with advisers and lawyers was held. The meeting included Wendy Feldman, who had been hired to serve as Teresa’s crisis manager. During the meeting, Feldman said that Teresa would probably go to jail.

An eye witness reports that when Feldman told Teresa that she was probably going to jail, Teresa violently attacked her.

“Teresa flipped out. She just couldn’t hear those words. She grabbed Wendy with both hands and slammed her back forcefully. Everyone was stunned,” the eye witness says.

It was reported earlier that Feldman quit her job as Teresa’s crisis manager, but she claimed that it was because Teresa had refused to take her advice, and then filed papers asking to serve out her prison sentence at the prison that inspired the popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black without Feldman’s knowledge. Teresa’s act of filing, Feldman claimed, was not only done without her advice, but was done at a time when, she said, “the stakes are the highest.”

Feldman added, “By making this request, Teresa has jeopardized months of work, months of preparation and in fact may jeopardize where she is ultimately designated or sent to.”

After leaving her position, Feldman wrote bluntly about her experience in her blog, saying, “I inherited a mess, and what I knew would be a difficult client, but that is my expertise — difficult clients having been one myself. In media and legal circles I am well known not as a publicist but as the ultimate protector. I did after all grow up in Hollywood and I did serve time in federal prison — a twofer for a Real Housewife from New Jersey.”

She added, “I made it very clear to Teresa as recently as yesterday that the only reason I dealt with the various tantrums, missteps and side conversations was for her children. We both acknowledged this. Yet here we are with a very public battle and various reports have me keeping Teresa from her children. I have done the opposite to this moment. She is a good mother and the sole caregiver. But she needs to get real, humble and honest.”

But a source told Life & Style that the real reason is because of Teresa’s violence towards her, saying that Feldman “knew Teresa was a lost cause” after the incident occurred.

It seems like if anyone needs a crisis manger, it’s Teresa Giudice. But who do you hire when you have a crisis with your crisis manager?

Teresa is set to begin her sentence January 5. Joe Giudice received 41 months and will serve after Teresa is released.
